Growing a business...

I got a mail from a friend and it showed the interior of one of the Google European offices. I really don’t know how true this is but…I was flabbergasted! It got me thinking about doing business again! I just thought to myself my goodness…when/how will I ever be able to build a great organisation like this? I know it is good to start small and think big (cliché!) but how does one get to this point? How does an individual start a business that will outlive him/her? Any takers in the house? P.S I’ve been trying to upload the pictures that left me gobsmacked forever but I can’t seem to get a hang of it…either that or there’s a restriction on my computer(am at work!).

Understanding the Enigma Called Me

For a very long time, I saw myself through the eyes of others. I saw me the way they saw me…I never disappointed; …They say she is crazy…then I act crazy… They say she is blunt and daring…then I act blunt and daring… What a fool I was! ...” Confident fool ” as the Amplified Bible will call it. So I decided to go on a journey… A discovery journey to understand who I am and what I’m about.

People talk about the “great potential money” to be made as an accountant…especially within the financial services…but when I hear this all that goes through my mind is…is it worth it? Is it worth giving my whole life to an organisation and getting paid a large sum of money that I won’t even have the time to spend? Is it worth it not having a life for a very long time (probably for as long as the span of my career) in the name of having a J-O-B (just over broke!). Is it worth the hassle, toiling morning and night at something you know will never be yours regardless of what you do(even EDs are sometimes forced to resign)? I keep saying I want to be an entrepreneur but the fear of the unknown alone will not let me lift a finger in that direction. And the: what ifs…yes what about the ifs… What if it was a big mistake? What if I ca...
